The Role
Worked in the IT department. I wonder why they even have a post open for this department. I was the the only placement to work in IT. This didn't help with making me feel more isolated.
Was bullied and isolated throughout the year and was talked about behind my back.
None - they just needed me to do extra work that they could pay a trained monkey to do
Often given no support or help to deal with heavy workloads
They made sure I worked
None. I don't recommend this place to anybody. The ones that couldn't deal with real work and people chose to work in that IT department. Miserable sour bullies.
The Company
Shit
No real training
Nothing. Just want to express the hate and pain I felt during my year here. If I ever see my colleagues again, I'll run them into the ground
